Speaking while taking part in World Cup-related events in Los Angeles, Infantino says the city is set to become a global gathering point during the tournament. Multiple outlets report that his comments use the phrase “happy barbarians,” describing fans who come from different countries to watch and celebrate football. The reporting ties the remarks to the upcoming World Cup format, including plans for a 48-team tournament, which is expected to draw a wide international audience. While outlets differ slightly in wording and emphasis, they all attribute the central message to Infantino: Los Angeles will host a major influx of supporters and become a prominent hub for visitors. The articles do not provide further detail on security, ticketing, or specific local measures, focusing instead on Infantino’s broader comments about the anticipated atmosphere and international reach of the event in Los Angeles.
